Michael Douglas
It Runs in the Family (2003)
The Sentinel (2006)
Strictly boilerplate...fail[s] to pursue any interesting avenues, using the cardboard characters as mere shooting-range targets.
You, Me and Dupree (2006)
What About Bob
this ain't.
Trumbo (2008)
Romancing the Stone (1984)
The Jewel of the Nile (1985)
Fatal Attraction (1987)
The film's moderate artistic success rests on Lyne's unsettling soft-lit style and the resonant leading performances by Douglas, Archer, and Close, who brilliantly does all the work the screenplay doesn't...
Falling Down (1993)
A heavy-handed potboiler, but as it raises the temperature, it does give cause to consider the line—so easily crossed—between social function and disasterous personal undoing.
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009)
Solitary Man (2010)
Wry and melancholic,
Solitary Man
recalls
Wonder Boys
as a character-study showcase worthy of Douglas’ ability.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
Though the carpe diem theme comes as something of a surprise,
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
makes its political points, with 'moral hazard'—the dark side of second chances—the film’s punny refrain.
Haywire (2012)
Finds Soderbergh keeping it simple, stupid, by filling the story's hollowness with kick-butt action and elements of style.
Ant-Man (2015)
With its playful use of scale,
Ant-Man
drops a dollop of Lewis Carroll whimsy on the usual clashes of good and evil.
Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
A good time at the movies... If the first film felt more carefully laid out, the sequel succeeds in stoking some Pixar-style emotion in its family dynamics...
